Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Confetti Caribbean Rice
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, minced garlic, sea salt, allspice, cayenne pepper, and an equal amount of reserved pineapple juice and water. Stir well and bring to a boil.
- Cover the saucepan, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice absorbs all the liquid. Let it sit covered for a few minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium. Add diced bell peppers and onions, sauté for 2-3 minutes until just softened.
- Remove from heat, mix in drained pineapple tidbits and chopped green chiles. Stir to blend flavors.
- Add the fluffy rice to the skillet with vegetables and toss gently to combine thoroughly.
- Stir in chopped cilantro, adjusting seasoning as necessary. Serve warm as a side or light main dish.

Notes
Rinse the rice for fluffiness; sauté vegetables just until tender. Adjust flavors with salt or lime juice as desired.
